Karachi/ Montego Bay, March 23: The Pakistan team's stay in the West Indies has been extended by a day or two for reasons not known yet, sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Friday.

"They were scheduled to take a flight out from Jamaica on Saturday but now this might be delayed to Monday or Tuesday," a well-informed source said.

He, however, said he could not say for certain if the delay was due to the ongoing investigations into the murder of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who was found dead in his hotel room on Sunday.

"I don't know if it has to do with the investigations but their departure is going to be delayed," the source said.

The team was originally schedule to leave the Caribbean Islands on Thursday after their premature exit from the ongoing World Cup but their stay was extended till Saturday following the sudden death of Woolmer.

Police finger printed the Pakistani players and questioned them individually in Kingston on Thursday. The team has now shifted to Montego Bay.

Sources said the team had gone to Montego Bay, a lavish holiday resort, after accepting an offer by the Jamaican Prime Minister who wanted the players to relax from the tragedy of Woolmer's death.

The Pakistan cricket community got the news of Woolmer's murder early this morning because of the time difference between the two countries and most of them were shocked with some former players also elucidating their suspicions on what could have led to the murder.

Former Test pacer Sarfaraz Nawaz told a television channel that he suspected the involvement of match-fixers in the murder because the laptop of Woolmer was missing from his hotel room.

"They didn't take any other valuables but just his laptop so it clearly is something suspicious. I know Woolmer used to take down his notes for his forthcoming book and stored it on his laptop," he said.

Nawaz created a stir earlier in the week when he told Indian television channels that Woolmer might have been murdered by the betting mafia.

"I have always said ICC tournaments have fixed matches because the stakes are very high. Some matches are not clean," he said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board said they were reviewing the entire scenario after the confirmation that Woolmer was murdered.

"We have also been told the police will have some DNA tests on our players and officials today," an official who did not want to be named said.

There are rumours that the PCB and government might send some people to Kingston to assist the team's safe return home from the West Indies.

Pak Players To Undergo DNA Tests

Pakistan's cricketers and team officials will be swabbed for DNA on Friday by police as a routine exercise a day after police announced their coach Bob Woolmer was strangled.

The Pakistan World Cup squad and management were finger-printed on Thursday at the Kingston Pegasus hotel, where Woolmer was murdered on Sunday.

They were supposed to undergo DNA tests on the same day but police allowed them to catch a flight to Montego Bay, where they are staying at the behest of the Jamaican Prime Minister, Portia Simpson-Miller.

"It's one of those routine things they do, at least here in Jamaica as far as I'm informed," Pakistan media manager Pervez Mir told Reuters.

"It's some sort of a swab that they put in your mouth and then put it in a plastic container. It takes about 25 seconds." There has been no indication from police that any of the team are suspects.

The case has become one of the biggest-ever stories to hit cricket. Woolmer was found unconscious on his bathroom floor on Sunday morning by a maid.

He was pronounced dead in a local Kingston hospital at 1214pm (1614 GMT). Police announced on Tuesday they were treating the death as suspicious.

Police said on Thursday it was now a murder case and that there may be more than one assailant, or a very powerful individual.

Woolmer's death came the morning after Pakistan, one of the favourites to win the World Cup, were eliminated having lost to tournament debutants Ireland.

The result was one of the biggest shocks in the 32-year history of the tournament.

This year's World Cup, the first to be played in the Caribbean, culminates in the April 28 final in Bridgetown, Barbados.
